Hello World ! Its pre-print time ! Awesome collaboration led by Michel Cohen-Tannoudji (not on Bsky) and the one and only @deborahbourchis.bsky.social. #BFF We solved the molecular mechanism underlying a mysterious hybrid incompatibility in mice: the DDK syndrome. 🧵🍿 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Transposable Element insertions Repurpose Immune Endonucleases as Drivers of Reproductive Isolation in Mice

The emergence of reproductive barriers between closely related populations is a fundamental step in speciation, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly understood in mammals. Here we resol...

And... Some more pictures from the social activities! There was even time to enjoy the beach during lunch breaks and group singing at an evening karaoke session! 🎤🏖️

What a busy (but sunny) May in Crete!🔆 Ziheng & @sabifo4.bsky.social enjoyed teaching and meeting the participants at the Computational Molecular Evolution course! Ziheng then joined the satellite workshop on Biodiversity Genomics 🌍🧬 Thanks to everyone who made these fantastic meetings possible!!

Hello World ! This week we celebrate our summer interns Elise and Thomas. Elise characterized novel mouse models, while Thomas developed novel cross-species RNA-seq scripts. Proud of my team for mentoring these young scientists! #MolaroLab #ProudPI #BrightFuture @naell-lenoir.bsky.social @igred.fr

1/ H3K27me3 mimicry has repeatedly emerged through evolution, but what's the physiological relevance? We show that JARID2 and PALI1 mimic H3K27me3 to antagonise PRC2 in vivo and restrict the spread of Polycomb domains. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
